About the Office of Research
Research at the Medical School extends from the basic sciences to translational and clinical research. The Medical School supports this work by providing a variety of funding opportunities, connecting individuals and teams to University and external grant funding, creating and disseminating tools and support strategies, providing information and direction on research space and facilities, and supporting the Centers, Institutes, Programs, and Medical Discovery Teams. The Office of Research includes three areas: Strategic Initiatives, Clinical Research Support, and Pre-Award Proposal Development Services.
